The West Ham United squad is one of the weakest in the Premier League right now.
Nuno Espirito Santo‘s West Ham squad is lacking strength in depth and, indeed, quality.
West Ham are open to selling pretty much every single player, if the price is right, of course.
And that’s a huge concern, given the fact that the Hammers need to strengthen their ranks urgently, rather than weaken them.
The jury is OUT on Sountougou Magassa! What have you made of him so far?
What does he need to improve to nail down a starting spot?
West Ham are currently sitting five points adrift of 17th placed Nottingham Forest and a further point behind Leeds United.
It’s painfully clear to see that West Ham need reinforcements if they are to avoid the drop this season.
Worryingly, though, there seems to be more talk about potential exits rather than incomings at the London Stadium.
Galatasaray try to seal deal for West Ham’s Soungoutou Magassa
Soungoutou Magassa only joined West Ham six months ago from Monaco.
However, he is already being heavily linked with an exit.
Aspor claim that Galatasaray vice president Abdullah Kavukcu has flown to London to meet with West Ham officials about a potential deal for Magassa.
And it is claimed that ‘negotiations are advancing’ regarding a potential transfer.
However, people inside the club have suggested that West Ham WILL NOT be selling Magassa this month.
Earlier on in the January window it was claimed that West Ham would be open to selling Magassa for around £15 million.
So, it remains to be seen whether the Hammers are actually open to the idea of allowing the 22-year-old Frenchman to leave the London Stadium in January.
Magassa exit could cause West Ham mutiny
West Ham would be mad to let Magassa leave in the January transfer window.
Nuno’s options are limited enough as it is.
West Ham signed Magassa for £14.7m. He’s EASILY worth £50m today…🤑
What have YOU made of his impact this season?
Guido Rodriguez has already left to join Valencia and James Ward-Prowse is closing in on a move to Burnley.
West Ham need Magassa, especially given the fact that they are currently embroiled in a relegation battle.
The 22-year-old has shown real quality at times for the Hammers and the more he becomes accustomed to Premier League football, the better he will become over time.
Selling Magassa in the January transfer window would be a big, big mistake from West Ham.
Surely this one won’t happen? If the former Monaco man does leave, some serious questions need to be asked about where the Hammers are heading as a football club.
Let’s put it this way; if Magassa is sold or even loaned out, West Ham majority shareholder David Sullivan could well have a mutiny on his hands at the London Stadium.
